their credibility and instructing ability? Even then, consider that what
works for one might not work for another. Do you prefer hands-on
style training or do you like a lot of theory and written material to
assist in learning?
It may seem counterintuitive to how we all search for information
thesedays, but your best bet is not to do a random Google search for
a course, but rather seek advice from trusted colleagues and fellow
fitness professionals who have undertaken the type of qualification
you’re seeking. Ask as many questions as you can to determine
whether it sounds right for you. This is about more than money: it’s
your time and it can shape your career now and into the long term.
Seek courses through trusted providers. Major fitness bodies and
organisations, including Fitness Australia, Physical Activity Australia
and Australian Fitness Network, list providers and upcoming courses
in your state. Pay attention to the number of CEC or PDP points you
will accrue through undertaking any course, as these will go towards
your ongoing registration as a fitness professional in Australia.
Finally, follow your heart. As much as one course might give
you a stable, steady income, if you truly want to qualify as a
trapeze instructor, there is a course out there for you and you’ll find
opportunities.

Is this course right for me?
When considering a course, ask yourself
the following questions:
• What are the prerequisite
qualifications or experience?
• How experienced is the course
instructor?
• Is the course provider registered with
a major Australian fitness body?
• What is the cost?
• What is the time commitment?
• Is the venue conveniently located?
• What level of qualification will I
receive and does this mean I can
work in the area immediately?
• Is there demand for instructors with
this skill/certification?
• Is my qualification nationally and/or
internationally recognised?
• How many CEC/PDP points will I
accrue?
